well more like pictures than thoughts about food. i'm here in tokyo for about 6 days and i am a piggly wiggly when it comes to food, especially here. so i thought i would share what i've been eating on this trip. hope you all enjoy! :smile:

first night we got in, we stopped at our favorite 24hr noodle restaurant. here is katsu donburi (chicken cutlet on rice) with cold udon noodles.

OMG. Japanese noodles are SO AMAZING. I had the best noodles ever at a little shop when I was in Ginza. I wish I could go back to Japan. It's such a beautiful country. The toilets freak me out a bit though. LOL. Enjoy the rest of your trip!

lunch on day 2 was ramen at yodobashi akihabara. it was nothing too fancy. it had sesame seeds in the broth, which i thought was interesting.

late night snacks bought from department store basement food halls. this is always a fun part of the trip. its always crowded and such a rush. first pic is of assorted musubi (rice balls). the one i had included a deep fried piece of squid. yum!

OMG i looove Japan (been 8 times on business trips when i lived in Hawaii). The food there is like nothing else. Are you staying in Tokyo b/c i highly reccomend taking the train to Osaka and Kobe if you've got time. Osaka is by far my fave city in Japan. It has the best food and is less crowded and snobby than tokyo.

I am SO jealous of the ramen, lol...I've been meaning to make homemade real ramen (complete with lardons, tea eggs, and pork), but just haven't gotten around to it yet! When ramen is done correctly/well, it is amazing!
